The Effect of Using Collaborative Strategic Reading for English Reading Comprehension Ability of Mattayomsuksa 5 Students, Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni 2 School)

Abstract

           This quasi-experimental research aimed to 1) compare student’s English reading comprehension ability before and after learning with the collaborative strategic reading and 2) compare student’s English reading comprehension ability of the experimental group taught by collaborative strategic reading and the controlled group taught by conventional instruction. The simple random sampling was employed in this research and the participants were seventy-four Mattayomsuksa 5 students studying in the 2nd semester academic year 2022 at Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) 2 School.
           The research instruments included the collaborative strategic reading lesson plans, traditional learning approach lesson plans and the English reading comprehension test. The data were analyzed by mean (M), standard deviation (S.D) and T-test for the dependent samples and the independent samples.
           The findings showed that 
           1. The experimental group’s English reading comprehension ability from the post-test result was significantly higher than the pre-test result at the .05 level.
           2. The experimental group’s English reading comprehension ability from the post-test result was significantly higher than the controlled group’s reading comprehension ability at the .05 level.
